I would play an SCP RTD WtFoaTS. But I'm too lazy to GM, and nobody seems to want to GM it. Maybe when RtPJ ends I would? Around turn 60 or 70? So maybe in a few weeks to a month.

SCP sounds like fun, I'd join.

As for GMing it though, I'm hardly into it enough (even though I got through nearly all the SCP that were on several months ago, I'm pretty sure I'm missing a lot of behind-the-scenes things) to know everything, my style (no flavor except where necessary) wouldn't do it any favors, and I've got another RTD which I'm still working on, so I'm not likely going to GM it.

Someone needs to run a Roll to Die. I want to play in a Roll to Die. Why is no one running a Roll to Die?

Roll to Die?

[GlyphGryph]

Roll to die, die to win!

Roll to dies are the best.

[Aklyon]

It was more of a "what is it" kind of question.

(also I tend to post before I'm finished posting, I was going to include them in the last one but you had to get all impatient. )

(Example: This)

[Aklyon]

Hmm. I could use that to focus my idea.

[IronyOwl]

Hehe, I could do one of those. In space!

Trouble is, I also kind of want to do a space RTD where the idea is not to die. Hm...

[adwarf]

I want to see a space RTD that revolves around mech pilots since that would be alot of fun trying to destroy Dreadnoughts with mechs is such a brilliant idea.

[Tarran]

...Problems with that:

How the hell are mechs in space worth their money?
How the hell are the mechs going to move in space without huge engines? Why would you build mechs anyway if you are basically building a ship?
How the hell are you going to stick enough armor on a mech to survive against actual ships?
How the hell are you going to stick good enough weapons on the mechs to actually damage the ships even a minor amount without resorting to nukes?

I'm not trying to shoot you down or anything, but it's just... not practical. You'd have fun just trying to explain it! Space really isn't a place for land vehicles. :|

But, if you really want one, start one yourself or something. I'm not stopping you. I'd recommend sticking to the ground, though. It makes a lot more sense.

@Irony: Anyway, space RTD, maybe. If you want I could list the number of problems mine had (which you were in, huh).

[Aklyon]

More a Armed Mobile Space Ram than a mech, if its in space. Unless its related to the Veritech.

[IronyOwl]

Hm... now that I think about it, I could combine the dying and not-dying parts to make a sort of Mafia-ish RTD, wherein some of the crew of some station/vessel are spies/infiltrators trying to kill everyone, while the others are your standard, oxygen-loving, prefer to not die crewmen. It'd probably lack the amusement factor of everyone trying to dispose of themselves as soon as possible, though.

Sorry, what? I couldn't hear your logic over the sound of giant robots swordfighting in space. With lasers.

@Irony: Anyway, space RTD, maybe. If you want I could list the number of problems mine had (which you were in, huh).

The only issues I recall were that it got too complex, and you sort of lost interest in it. If you mean issues with the feasibility of maintaining shields or the power requirements of warp travel, those wouldn't really apply because I'd flagrantly and shamelessly ignore them.


Damn it, now I kind of do want to make a mechwarrior/gundam RTD. The mental image of two gundam-things fighting with giant claws got to me.

[SeriousConcentrate]

With IronyOwl on this one. I mean I guess some people would want to track those kinds of things but, well, you know how I react to frivolous complexity. Especially if it gets in the way of the Rule of Cool.

[adwarf]

I was imagining they had the jetpacks from Gundam to help them fly around, and that they survived the ships blast by zooming out of the way, or their shields would take care of the blast.

You lost me at Gundam.
